REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA RECAP
Season Five, Episode Twelve… “Battle of the Booty”
by Sandi Duffy
I know there are those who will argue with me, but after much soul searching, I have decided that I like Kenya Moore. Oh, sure she’s batshit crazy, but I think she is one of the few housewives who gets the joke. She knows it’s an unreality show and she is playing a part for the cameras. So few housewives have that insight–no one from the OC or NJ. I think Lisa Vanderpump gets it; I also think Ramona Singer gets it and puts on the cray cray for the cameras. Atlanta, though, holds the record. Phaedra, Kandi, and Kenya all get it.
So in the episode we have “Stallion booties” competing with “Donkey booties”. Kenya is going to make her own workout video to compete with Phaedra, but really the most shocking revelation is that Kenya and Cynthia are now friends.
Nene and Greg are babysitting Nene’s granddaughter, who is adorable, but let’s be real. The poor little girl’s daddy is a loser with a capital “L”. I hope now that he’s a father he gets his act together, but I have my doubts. I can’t believe any woman would have gotten involved with him and had a child with him. He’s not good-looking; he doesn’t have money; he has no personality that I can see; he has a criminal record. Yep, sounds like someone I would want as my baby’s daddy. Well, maybe Nene and Greg can be the stable influences in her life.
Kandi’s hairdresser spills the dirt that Kenya is making a stallion booty video. Hairdressers are the best at spillin’ the dirt. Kandi immediately calls Phaedra from the hairdressers. This is ridiculous. Both videos are going to end up on the $1 discount rack at Walmart.
Kandi says she wants to stay out of it because it’s not her thing. Too late. You already called Phaedra. I love these housewives who “stay out of it”. Doen’t Kyle on Beverly Hills and Caroline on New Jersey always claim to “stay out of it”?
Cynthia claims business is booming at her modeling agency. Riiiiigggghhhht. She is casting a bunch of kids for a runway show to benefit kids with AIDS. Phaedra brings Aidan and that kid is adorable. Aidan is having none of it. Why the hell would anyone want their kids to be in a fashion show?
Everyone’s favorite dummy, Porsha arrives. Porsha is on the wrong show. She should be on the Real Housewives of New Jersey because I’m sure if you tested the women in each of the cities, NJ would average the lowest IQ points.
Porsha brings up the stallion video. How did Porsha know about it? Phaedra was not stabbed in the back by a long time dear friend. She knew Kenya for about 10 minutes. They are acting like she was betrayed by her BFF. Phaedra thinks Kenya is bipolar. I can see that. There’s Miss USA Kenya and Miss America Kenya.
Kenya takes Kandi to her production designer to help Kandi decorate her daughter’s bedroom. Geez, just paint the walls her favorite color and call it a day.
Kandi and Kenya get into videogate and I’m bored to tears over this. I will not longer comment on videogate.
Oh holy hell, Hanoi Jane is Phaedra’s inspiration and the “Godmother” of all workouts. I am old enough to remember her workout videos and anyone in the industry claimed she had no idea what the hell she was doing and her exercise videos could cause injury. Ok, NOW I will stop commenting on videogate.
Phaedra and Porsha are having lunch to get to know each other. Phaedra claims to have had a very difficult pregnancy. I saw no evidence of a difficult pregnancy. Porsha doesn’t think she will have a difficult pregnancy because she’s been a housewife at home for the last year. Yeah, that will guarantee you a good pregnancy.
Talk turns to Kenya. I’m over it.
Cynthia is backstage drinking a diet coke at her kiddie fashion show. She has her daughter walking. You know who I miss? I miss Noelle’s dad. Now there’s a fine looking man. Phaedra shows up with little Aidan. Nene and Greg show up. And of course, Kenya is there. The kids are really cute walking and Cynthia’s daughter is beautiful. Nene claims that was her back in the day. Wasn’t Nene a stripper with bad teeth?
Apollo walks with Aidan. Apollo kept his mouth mostly shut this episode, so he’s back on my hot list.
Kenya is hilarious when she TTCs about Phaedra and Porsha now hanging out. I’m telling you, this woman is in on the joke that is the Housewives.
Kenya discusses videogate with Nene. Phaedra joins the conversation and all hell breaks lose. Well, Phaedra is a bit more of a lady than SOME housewives, so it’s not a Mob Wives smack down or anything.
From Bravo… On next week’s RHOA…
Loved the summary. At first I was appalled by Kenya’s behavior, but now I see it’s all for the cameras. Word is that Phaedra is the queen of shady dealings, so I don’t understand why she is so upset. Wasn’t it just 2 seasons ago when Kandi was crying over Kim doing her the same way? The nerve of her to say that “she’s not getting in it” when she’s all up in it and besides, she should know exactly where Kenya is coming from based on her own misguided business practices.
Except that Kenya doesn’t have a leg to stand on in regards to Phaedra. They had no deal in place,and therefore Kenya had no business using Phaedra’s name to get a distribution deal….if she actually did. Personally? Since Kenya’s production company is and has always been in California, I don’t think they were ever really going to work together anyway. This I will agree, is all for the show.
Kenya is NOT clever for playing it up for the cameras. She’s a moron for doing it. Everyone will assume she’s like that in real life and nobody will take her seriously. She will forever be judged now because how she chose to betray herself for 15 minutes of fame. It’s a good thing nobody used her production company in the first place it would suck to have a good business them everyone leave
I despise Kenya, don’t give a damn what she’s in on or not in on, she’s a raging psychopath and I don’t want to look at her ugly oil slick face again. Now I feel better!
Now I feel you Sherry plus she need to keep her knees cover up…….they are awful.
Ken-YuK! With you on that one, a lady is a legend in her own mind! Nene criticising Phaedra’s donkey bootie, Nene needs to look in the mirror, backwards.
And sideways, and from the front. Nene looks better then she did when the show first started, but she ain’t exactly a beauty contestant either.
ouch!
Nene needs to adjust her Donald Trump hairpiece, it’s crooked all the time. And she has an ass the size of Rhode Island.
ITA!
Cynthia’s daughter got her looks from her handsome dad.
I really wish we could see more of him then of Peter, but since he has a real career, I’m sure he doesn’t want hanging around this group too much to hurt it!
I like her baby daddy, too…he actually would make a good husband for someone. I can’t believe Cynthia chose Peter over that guy. IMO, he’s the whole package from what I’ve seen, and after those tweets Peter sent Lisa, he’s back to square one with me.
And anyone with any real ties to Hollywood, like Cynthia’s baby daddy, would never ever have sent those tweets!
I’m watching now so I skipped the recap to avoid spoilers. I’m at Cynthia’s model practice. I think it’s real classy she chose 98% black models for an aids walk charity -____-
And I think that’s an odd thing to notice.
I notice everything lol. I also noticed Cynthia is an idiot for picking someone who potentially damaged her business over someone who simply said they don’t care if she goes to a 2 year old’s birthday party. If anything she should have stayed mutual but we all know Nene commanded Cynthia to go against Phaedra. Interesting because in her talking heads Cynthia would talk so much crap on Kenya Bensimon.
Kenya is crazy that makes no sense. You can be crazy and still make a lot of common sense…this yesteryear beauty queen make no sense. She wore a rose in her hair on the left side because she wanted to be married so bad and Apollo had to breaks it down to her that she was a copy cat……….he was using the intellectual slang.
So much for Kenya being proud to be ghetto.
What was that bump below Lawrence’s left jaw line?He looks sick.Maybe the kid fashion show should be for him.He looks sick in an AIDS way.Gross gay over the top person.
you really have some nerve saying that about a gay person. One of my godfather’s died due to aids (and yes, He was Gay). Susie, you are disgusting even for a troll!!!
Especially since it looks like acne to me.
It is pretty disturbing and shocking you would make an ignorant statement like that. Hopefully, it did not come out right and that is not what you meant to say.
Wow what a disgusting thing to say. I hope you get poofed. IMO, it’s long overdue.
Susie what you have said is incredibly insulting and it shows you are clearly uninformed about HIV, AIDS and Gay people in general.
NOT COOL, Susie! Educate yourself!!!
Wow@Susie….in my OPINION…your comments about Lawerence were beyond harsh/disturbing.
I think Kenya hyped up her “role” on the show way too much. However, I don’t feel bad for Pheadra..she has been shady in the past herself….so I think it is karma. At the end of the day both women can hold their own in the argument department so the reunion will be VERy entertaining lol.
I agree Mel with both of your comments.
It would only be karma if any of this nonsense were real. Except for the exercise video that is for sale, does anyone really believe that Kenya and Phaedra were going to be working together? I mean, really? Besides, the crazier Kenya looks, the better Nene looks.
I agree with Mel on the first point and Bsbfan on the second.
Linda, How are you doing? I hope your bones are healing and that you are not in a lot of pain.
Aw, thanks for asking ChemGeek <3, I'm doing really well. Hurt more without the meds as is natural, but doing much better–just found out I won't need another surgery on my leg and they thought I might possibly need two. So celebrating!
How about you?
So why did Nene’s son get picked to be a baby daddy? Because some foolish young woman took the bait when he talked about his Mom’s money, and is hoping some of it will come her way. Although no girl in the OC has been dumb enough to get pregnant by Tamra’s really creepy looking son (that we know of), I figure he too uses his Mom’s fame to pick up women.
True. If Nene’s son and Tamra’s son were the last two men left on earth, I’d be forced to choose Nene’s son.
LOL! I’d be forced to be celebate.
Me too. Both of them…..ewwwwww.
Tam’s creepy son’s girlfriend had a miscarriage a few seasons ago. Remember the tattoo on his lower lip?
Now that’s oddly funny! I must have missed that since I stopped watching the show after the nonsense between Tamra and Jeana, who I wish were still on the show.
I’m pretty sure that Tamballs is a grandmother. I read that creepy son of her’s got a girl pregnant. It just doesn’t fit with Tamballs as a sleezy sexy piece of trash to be a sleezy, sexy piece of trash Memaw so it’s not in the storyline.
Kenya is entertaining. That is what this show needs. Porsha is an idiot and its painful to watch her act so simple. Her storyline is Kenya. Porsha is like some little yappy annoying dog constantly yapping about Kenya so she can stay relevant. Without Kenya this show would be a snoozefest. Kandi’s love story is great for her, but its boring. She’s trying so hard to keep her personal life private that we, the audience really dont know who Kandi is. Cynthia is finding her voice but still not enough to have a real presence on the show. Phaedra’s character comes off an unauthentic and needs a villian like Kenya to bring out the real Phaedra and not that ‘church lady’ role she keeps pretending to be. Nene’s role seems to be minimal because of ther bicoastal responsiblities. Face it, Kenya is the antagonist this season but it was a needed role.
Well, I don’t know. Without Kenya we’d be back to having Nene as the crazy one. I like Porsha. While she might not be a Rhodes Scholar, she’s got a good heart. Although I realize Kenya is playing a role, I’m not sure she would know a heart if it bit her.
I would really like to see Cynthia off the show. All she does is follow Nene’s lead, has no thoughts of her own, and to me comes across far more brainless then Porsha does. Plus her wigs drive me crazy. I would think someone who has been a model would have a better idea about what works for her and what just really, really looks fake.
I’m right there with ya bsbfankaren. I share your same thoughts about Cynthia and Porsha, Thought I was the only one who found Porsha amusing and Cynthia grating.
“Phaedra’s character comes off an unauthentic and needs a villian like Kenya to bring out the real Phaedra and not that ‘church lady’ role she keeps pretending to be.”
So, Fake Kenya needs to be around to bring out the Real Phaedra? And this seems balanced to you?
Cut Phaedra a little slack. Her mother’s a preacher, so she tries to do things that will make her mother proud….all while finding opportunities to seriously let loose, like she did at the strip club.
It’s funny but when my mother died and her body was being taken from our home, both my daughter and I thought that we wished that she could have used Phaedra’s funeral services, even though we didn’t have a funeral. If nothing else she would have made us laugh, and that would have been worth the cost.
Yes it sure does seem balanced. Every housewives show has a villian for BALANCE.
Hey guys..Since I don’t watch the show unless am brain dead from long day or have lost the remote again…I count on you all and Sh to fill me in. Why is Kenya on a housewife show? She isn’t a housewife. She cant even pay some guy to marry her and make her a housewife. That twirl shit makes me nauseous. Andy must be getting really hard up for housewives.
When the HW shows started it was supposed to be WIVES that live behind gates. Shoot far no one even has a gate anymore ‘cecpt kandi.
I must say Im glad the 49ers won. Now I wont have to see Wig at the superbowl. I bet her and Korn Fed Kory are somewhere cussing up a storm about losing all that superbowl bonus money.
and that SB ring you know how Kimz values bling over anything.
You think the Biermann’s are gonna have a super bowl party? LOL!
Me too…. that was one of the things that caused me to root against the Falcons. I couldn’t STAND Miss Wig with a S/B ring. She’d find some way to constantly wear that thing on her own finger. Piece of work / piece of crap woman.
I’m gonna be an a$$ here and $tick up for Kim. This pains me to do this tho.
Okay, I know Kandi has been in the industry for some time now. Let’s be honest tho; no one was knocking down her door b4 RHOA.
I don’t remember if you remember Kim saying at the reunion when her atty heard about the financial agreement; she asked WTF she was doing b/c that’s not how it works. They were going to split it 50/50 Shame on Kandi for wanting to do that in the first place.
Have you all heard about Toni Braxton and her nightmare producer?
Normally a producer is to get a fee per song/download/record-sale/cassette sale etc.
If anything, Kandi did make good on the deal b/c she got to show her skillz. Now it just so happens b/c Kandi is so “good” that her single didnt do nearly as good as Kim’s did, her show flopped and um, well you see what’s going on now.
I want to make it clear to everyone that Kim IMHO is still a gold digging, husband stealing home wrecker.
With Lawerance, Kandi wanted to do 50/50 she wanted this money to promote it (on twitter and her pod cast) I don’t blame Lawerance for not paying b/c Kandi is being greedy. She promotes all day long on twitter. Kandi is missing the fact that she would also be promoting her work too. I hope someone gets what I am saying lol.
I’m a Kim fan and believe that whatever was between the two of them, should have been worked out in a contract, especially since the hair dresser who also put out a record written by Kandi, and he says he never saw a dime.
MS fabulous….Kandi didn’t just produce Kim’s song she rewrote it. The only thing that stayed from the original song was the titile “don’t be tardy for the party”. Everything else kandi rewrote and did the arrangments.
Hey Romo, thank goodness for WP notifications. Lol I would of known you replied. I found this a Cpl wks ago.
Re: Kim Kandi
Yes, that was what Music Producers do is write. Lol do u remember what the original song sounded like. Lol. Didn’t the original song writer sue also?
Anyhow, yes, Kandi did re write the song, that’s a part of producing. Good thing Kandi had something to work with.
I don’t know if you remember when K & K said at the reunion that they just left it for the atty’s to work out. That is what made me research this. I get your point tho. Are you on twitter? I am going to do more research.
One more thing. Makes you wonder what ever happened with Jodee Maseena ( I just butchered the spelling )
I woundn’t buy a work out dvd from Phaedra if you payed me , she needs a work out dvd to get in shape. thats so funny she needs to workout with that bad looking body of hers.!!!!!
As we found out recently, she was pregnant when she was on the show. With that said, I might just buy it to see if it’s any good.
That funky donkey move was no joke
I’m gonna funky donkey at work!
YES!! workplace fun!!
I’m so tired of Kenya already. She’s such a psycho.
I’m west coast and watching the show right now. I, like Phaedra, think that Kenya is so totally bi-polar (remember when Walter asked if she had taken her meds?), but think it is hilarious that Cynthia stands there mum then in her talking head talks about how bad it is that Phaedra said it. Cynthia reminds me of Maurice. Somethings not a bad thing to say until after someone has said it, not at the time it is coming from the person’s mouth!
That is an amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing comparison. Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing Maurice totally does that!
They call Todd an opportunist.I would bet with the exception of Greg since he was married and in the picture before the show all the other men are opportunist too.When the show jump ship all these men will too.All the HW hags will flounder like a fish out of water and no where to go.
ITA that there are opportunist men on the RH shows. I cannot stand the TTC from the men/husband/boyfriend. One statement just to clarify is fine, but a series of gabbing on and famewhoring–blech!
I love the jumpin the shark pic Ms SH puts in some of the articles.
I don’t care how much anyone thinks Kenyuk “gets it” and likes her (groan and eye-roll), ain’t nobody gonna touch that crazy with a one hundred and ten-foot pole after seein’ her antics on this show. She ain’t that good of an actress.
Her’es the interesting part. Within the first few episodes, Phaedra goes to the gym with Nene and Cynthia and Nene acts like they are now friends. When Phaedra tells Kandi about it, Kandi looks at Phaedra like she’s a crazy fool. Fast forward to now, Nene is right back to smack talking Phaedra, calling her shady and talking like she’s never liked her. Nene has not changed, Kandi was right about her.
ITA with you there.
I thought it was stupid for nene to even say that about Kandi and Phaedra in her blogs, what did she expect after the reunion? If you read her blogs, she calls them out all the time about things they do, and not long ago she made a snide remark about her and Kandi were in a good place….but then she threw in a slur like she didn’t know how long it would last. I knew when she said that, she didn’t intend to get along with Kandi or Phaedra. I used to like Nene, but I’ve gotten to the point that I can’t stand her anymore, and she needs to remember that these women need a job just like she does, and all that crap will come back and slap her upside her head someday. I really think Nene is trying to get Kandi and Phaedra fired like she did with Kim and Sheree. It amazes me how much pull she has with whoever is letting her run the show. She doesn’t have a ton of fans, she doesn’t even get many comments on her blogs, and some are from the same person. Mark my words, one day soon, Nene’s gonna wake up broke and homeless once again, I just don’t believe u can treat ppl the way she does and come out on top for very long. The sad part is, I really want to like her. i had a friend I worked with once who was a Nene…full of hilarious comments, fun to be around, and I loved that girl to death! Then one day it dawned on me that the only time she was around me was really when she needed something…she turned out to be like Nene, if you can’t help her in some way, she’s doesn’t have time for you. Both are users.
Her pull is limited at best. Kim was not fired, but chose to walk away from the show. She’ll get her own show before you know it. Sheree is gone because she was a liability since nothing that came out of her mouth in regards to her finances was true. Where I think Nene did hold some sway in regards to Kim, was that the producer friend of her’s from Glee/The New Normal said on WWHL right after it was announced that Nene would be on Glee that he also wanted to have Kim on. I was watching and thought it was pretty cool that he wanted both of them. However, it never happened. It could be because Kim didn’t want to appear, which I would find highly unlikely, or it was that Nene got in is ear and convinced him not to hire her. Nene is a conniving somethin’ somethin’ and it will come back to bite her sooner or later. I haven’t been a Nene fan since the first season. Something about the issues between Nene and Kim seem more jealous induced than because they didn’t like each other. Nene saw her real competition on the show, and worked to minimize her. Kim’s happy with her life, while Nene is still frontin’. By the way, I suspect the house in LA is being leased by the production company and not Ms. Leakes.
I feel like Cynthia is taking Kenya’s side in this is because NeNe told her to. NeNe must think Keny a is a good hollywierd contact to have. It was in the friendship contract or sumpin. It must say when NeNe says jump, Cynthia says how high.
I think NeNe thinks that if Kenya acts nutty than her she will be safe. Kenya is NUTS, seems she has all the bricks but no pallet to stack them on. I don’t know what she has went through in her past but its caught up with her.
Yes! That chick last season was legally dangerous, but Kenya makes that chick not look so bad. Doesn’t Nene have any sane friends out there?
Birds of a feather! Didn’t they always say if you go out with a friend, pick one thats god ugly and you will look beautiful next to her. I think its about as low as you get but maybe thats what NeNe is thinking. Kenya is definately coo coo.
Now that makes sense!
Nene likes kray kray thuggish people to have her back. That way her mouth can talk all the smack she wants and she can use the thugs to enforce things for her. Nene is a user, as easily evidenced how she has Cynthia doing her bidding and now you can see her amping things along with Kenya.
Yes, the worst part about Cynthia is that she repeats everything that is said to her. I’m surprised she doesn’t have a tape recorder in her pocket so that she doesn’t miss a single word.
They should all be wary of her, she is nothing but a little snitch.
From the change in Cynthia’s actions this year, I think Nene preps her before each show, and especially in her TH segments. Too much difference in how she was and how she is now for me to believe she woke up one day with this new attitude.
Knowing that SCAM that modeling schools are I figure Cytnthia alludes to an opportunity to do work for Glee or New Normal every time she is signing someone up for her classes. Every child in that gymnasium last night will be sure to have their cards updated with the words ‘appeared on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. Aint that just dee-lightul????
I never understood why Cynthia wanted a casting fee for using her models in the Donkey DVD. It would have been great for her school and give her some credibility.
It could be that the video needed someone over 18 for insurance purposes since its a work out video? In case of injury? I think Cyntha’s school primarily deals with kids who have mothers that pay that tuition so so their youngun can walk and say cheese for a few hours every week.
Best episode of RHOA I’ve seen in years! It got heated.
Phaedra’s one-liners were amazing.
That’s what I like about Phaedra and why she’s everything Kenya is not. She can dig deep without ever raising her voice or looking like she’s crazy. If I were going to emulate either of them as a business woman, it would be Phaedra.
Well darn, now I wish I had watched it last nite. Oh well, it’s not like they won’t show it a thousand times…I’ll catch it then.lol
Although I find NeNe to be slightly more likable than she has been in the past…..her comment about the donkey booty was ridonkclueless. She says: Who wants a donkey booty?
Girl…do you own a mirror? Your backside is as big as Rhode Island!
I was thinking exactly the same thing! LOL!
Donkey booty, my butt…Nene is big from one end to the other! In fact, she’s beginning to look like Big Mama! And that dress she wore to the awards was pitiful. I don’t know who helped her pick out her dress, but that was an ugly dress and did nothing for her figure. She may be a large woman, but large women can look just as good as the ones who are the size of a beanpole, imo
I LOOOOOVE KENYA!! She’s a fighter! Her motto is “F*ck with me – I’ll f*ck right back with you.”
Unfortunately most women do not understand her because they are not used to standing up for themselves and fighting for what they know they deserve. Its been a problem for women to speak up for themselves in their career development and business negotiations – they tend to just wait for someone else to decide what they think they deserve. Sorry but the times are changing- women are not going to be submissive anymore. Kenya was right to do what she did/is doing to Phaedra. Phaedra expected her to just agree to whatever she wanted but Kenya knew better, spoke up and learned to not just walk away but turn around and say “You underestimated me – watch me now! I’m taking you out!”
If you don’t agree with me – think about it if Phaedra was a man doing that to Kenya…We would all be rooting for her (…I hope).
She’s my kind of woman!!! A lot of women can learn from her.
There are many ways to stick up for oneself. Granted, Kenya’s stance is one of them.
I prefer intelligence, wit, accurate information, and a soft voice. When you do what Kenya does you just look like a rabid dog in heat.
Soft voice?? Why a “soft voice”? I hope you are not saying “lady like”. Women can be aggressive without sacrificing being “lady like”. This is the going down the Todd “legitimate rape” Akin road…
O.K. that was just a weird comparison.
I didn’t get that one, either….I must have missed something somewhere along the way!
Not really. When you speak in a soft voice folks have to strain to hear you.
If you scream, cuss, threathen, and contort your face and body you are just lost in a sea of yelling.
But when you speak slowly, in English, rationally….eventually your voice will be heard. If is is not…then you are wasting your valuable time trying to reason with the unreasonable.
Sometimes you have to lose a battle to win the war.
If you paid someone to mow your yard and then they took it upon themselves to refinish your deck you cant be expected to pay(and in this case OVERpay) for what you didn’t hire that person to do. Maybe Kenya was one of them windshield warsher people in Detroit back in the day? That’s more in line with the bull she tried to pull.
Why are you assuming her experience in production is crap? Is it because you assume women not to have had that type of experience or success?
Not at all. I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant
I am saying production(what she was asked to do) and distribution deal (what she was NOT asled to do) are two different things.
So she might be the best lil yard mower(producer) in town
But her deck refinishing skills is a mute point cause she was not asked to secure that.
Oh – ok that’s cool. (loved your first paragraph – hilarious!! hahaha)
tee hee I bit that one offa than interwebs
I have tried to use it IRL but I always get tounge tied.
That’s the way I see it too!
That’s not at all what made was saying, not even close! Maybe you should reread what she wrote.
Perfectly ‘splained!!
Oh, pul-leeeze! There is a difference between stand up for one’s self when there is reason to do so, and it is another when one comes across as not only the worst business woman in America but also someone who needs medication. No one does “preproduction” for anyone without a contract and dollars in place. No one who is running a successful business, that is. Kenya can say anything she wants to, but without proof it is nothing but words. That is why Kandi wouldn’t back down when Kenya blew her usual smoke. But the one thing about all this is that I truly hope women are taking notes on how NOT to conduct business!
Really. Given Kenya’s last move…who in their right would ever want to do business with her?
I completely disagree with what you said, and I think most women learned years ago to defend themselves and not put up with crap. I’ve been doing since the 80′s when I no longer was married and had two children to support. I also consider most of the HW’s know how to take up for themselves, too, and don’t see any of them not defending themselves. Kenya is just crazy…she should have had a deal in place that both agreed on…signed and notorized…before she ever did the things she claimed to do have done. Personally, I think the work she put into it was probably because she knew she was going to pull a fast one on Phaedra and do her own video.
Sorry Entree, have to totally disagree with you. Kenya went way beyond what was discussed in the first meeting with Pahedra and Apollo, and used Phaedra’s name without checking that out first. If indeed she has a production company, she should know better. Does she not sign a contract in the beginning before making any moves? To me, she is not “lady”. First, Kendra, show some class. You can twirl all you want and yell it from the rooftops that you are fabulous, but to me, you just look ridiculous. Women who have class know it and don’t feel the need to try and convince the world that it is so.
kay – totally, totally agree that it was a BIG mistake to do any work without having a contract in place. But Phaedra should have known better too – she should have had a contract with a non-compete clause written in it. She can complain all she wants that Kenya is a copy-cat but as an entertainment lawyer – she should have known better. She “underestimated the other guy’s greed”… rule No. 1 Scarface.
How do you write a non compete contract, when there is no meeting of the minds what so ever? There is no Kenya exercise video that I can find on the net, but Phaedra’s video is alive and well. Like most things that come out of Kenya’s mouth, I think this was just more smoke and mirrors.
I may be wrong, but i think Phaedra probably knew that Kendra was broke and needed to work and that is why she was even doing business at all with crazy kendra.Phaedra is also smart enough to know to check out all her options before setlling on whoever she decided to do the job. heck, kendra looks broke!
And desperate.
Yes, desperate was the word I was needing! Thanks, bsbfankaren!
Entree, agree with you completely regarding Phaedra. Thanks!
I really like this season of RHOA – regardless of how silly the item is that they are producing – its still business with a potential of a decent amount of money. I think its worth watching to see how these women negotiate business and see all the mistakes made with assumptions that they are “good friends”. And its just a damn funny show!!
I can truthfully say, I haven’t been enjoying any of the housewife shows this year….I’m so sick of seeing women act like they were raised in days of the Hatfields an McCoy days, and I’d enjoy seeing women who are secure with themselves, that a fight for camera time is less important than having fun and enjoying all that money they are making while they are having fun. When the OC first began, I don’t recall all the drama going on, and seems to me it worked out well with what really looked like friends having fun.
Phaedra Kandi Tiny , Toya they have all had butt injections.
and for most of them, those butt injections are made out of cake, pie, and vodka.
How do you know they’ve had butt injections? I don’t follow TIny and Toya, but haven’t seen anything to indicate that anyone….aside from Kenya…is anything but entirely natural, at least in the butt department. LOL! Thankfully you haven’t seen my daughter’s rear end!
You should see my granddaughter’s butt! All natural, and I must say she has a lot of junk in the trunk and it’s all in the right place. Some people are just born with nice well rounded, plump butts, I guess it comes from their genes. I have another granddaughter, and her butt looks like her mom’s…flat like a pancake.
Now, that I do believe….they be eating well, and it’s landing on their butts and thighs. When I was heavier, that’s where all my weight went, too…. butt and thighs, but my arms were skinny for some reason, and my waist didn’t get bigger, nor my boobs!
Surely you are joking???? Why on earth would Kandi and Phaedra add injections to their rear end, when they are battling with a big rear end as it is? Now, after seeing the pic of Kendra in that bikini, I do wonder if she’s had injectons, hers just doesn’t look natural to me. I’d like to see a pic of Kendra in a bikini from about ten years ago, and see what it looked like then before all these Kartrasion butt invasion hit!
I think Kenya’s had butt implants, and not injections. Implants lost a lot longer.
As much as I have commented that I like Nene a lot more this season she is still a cunning skank on the down low. See how much she was enjoying the little drama with Phaedra and Kenya, and how she was amping up the donkey vs. stallion booty.
Does anyone know what is wrong with Lawrence…that bump on his neck surely doesn’t look good.
